Kionix, Ithaca, New York. World’s Lowest Power Consumption Accelerometer with Embedded Algorithms KXTE9 has digital-output and tri-axis With embedded algorithms for orientation and activity monitoring, the KXTE9 simplifies the adoption of increasingly-popular, motion-based functionality in consumer electronics while reducing operating power consumption to the world’s lowest levels for such feature-rich products. The advanced, orientation-detection feature of the KXTE9 reports changes in landscape, portrait, face-up, and face-down conditions. This sophisticated, embedded algorithm eliminates the need for continuous data collection and complex calculations by a microprocessor ...

FISO Technologies Inc., Quebec, Canada. The World Smallest Fiber Optic Pressure Sensor  FOP-F125  has a diameter of 125 microns instead of 550 microns for the current smallest FISO pressure sensor, is a major breakthrough. The MD&M West exhibition, which is attended by key-decision makers in the medical market, has allowed FISO to present the product to potential customers, but also to current collaborators. With dimensions smaller than any competitive product, FISO is again establishing the new standard of the industry and clearly positioning itself as the world technology leader ...

Microbridge Technologies, Inc. The world’s first Rejustor-enhanced integrated CMOS Analog Integrated Circuit, the MBSTC-02 simplifies the design process allowing sensor calibration and temperature compensation after final assembly, which negates cumulative errors associated with the assembly processes, such as manufacturing tolerance errors, error introduced by stress, packaging, etc. Low-cost and high-precision adjustment replaces the requirement for digital signal conditioning. The MBSTC-02 enables the use of lower cost sensors in precision applications, thereby increasing their value in the market ...

SenGenuity (Vectron International's division). TFSS433D SAW (Surface Acoustic Wave) Temperature Sensor for OEM System Integrators is based on the latest advancement in SenGenuity’s suite of sensing solutions can be integrated to a wireless interrogator and instrumentation platform. The TFSS433D SAW temperature sensor is a 433.786 MHz one-port SAW resonator structure specifically designed to have a linear frequency versus temperature characteristic.  With a temperature coefficient of frequency of 16.2 ppm/°C (~7028 Hz/°C), it is operable from 0 to 120°C and has an unloaded Q of 8000.  It is a low loss structure (2.5 dB max) and is designed for a 50-ohm system ...

Robert Bosch GmbH. The new MEMS Barometric Pressure Sensor BMP085 enters the market as the smallest and most accurate micromechanical (MEMS) pressure sensor with a digital I²C output. Maintaining pin and software compatibility with Bosch Sensortec's 1st generation SMD500, customers can now achieve even greater performance without impacting designs already in production. With a 25 percent package height reduction and a remarkable reduction to a seventh in standby current to 0.1 µ, BMP085 makes way for navigation applications in the mobile space. Both enhancements add to the attractiveness of the device for manufacturers of mobile consumer electronics ...

ZMD AG. The ZMD21013 Multi-Sensor Interface Circuit  (MUSic)  series offer multi-channel and multi-use sensor interfaces for microcontroller-based systems. Known for very high precision and ultra low power, these ICs are ideal for wearable medical instruments; sports and activity monitors that incorporate altimeters, barometers, navigation, and other tools; and industrial systems executing multiple sensor-based measurements such as flowmonitors or scales.  The first device in the MUSic family, the ZMD21013, is a highly integrated smart-power architecture that offers programmable interfaces for up to three resistive bridge sensors ...
